Re: Pet Immune... er ... Resistant Motions

IMO, you're right about the insensitivity of the DT 500's. We refer to them
as "mooseproof" motions around my part of the country. But in my experience,
they will work in extremely difficult situations where other pet motions
have tripped...ie: larger dogs with short hair, in a room with hardwood
floors, etc. Speaking only for myself, I don't use them unless the
particular situation calls for them, and never with the panel set to a
"double trip" feature.....just too much chance of a missed "catch"....

I feel a lot more confident with a conventional pet motion; one with ratings
to 75 lbs, like Visonic, or the Paradox DG75. These seem to be the best
compromise between "capture" and insensitivity to a human. I also wouldn't
use the small, pet immune motions (40 lbs), except perhaps in a commercial
situation to guard against mice etc. The ones made by DSC are just too "hot"
IMO. Others might be OK, but I don't have experience with them.....
